If there isn’t, for the sake of the morale of your community, or whatever it is you live in, we suggest that you fill out the questionnaire and send it in to High Hat headquarters.

HE object of the High Hat Club is to gather together into one organization, the ‘“‘good eggs’ of the country —men who are “regular” fellows, like a good time and are able to hold their Gordon Water like gentlemen. By “regular” we don’t mean a bird that can drink every- body else under the table, ora Rotarian, or a mem- ber of the intelligentsia, but a person retaining the best features of each. ANY white male, be- tween the age of seventeen and seventy- seven, is eligible to mem- bership, but he must be proposed by his “Local High Hat.” Each ap- plicant for membership is asked to fill out a questionnaire, which is forwarded by the Local High Hat to the Head WIG ex CLUB "Signature. .
